Genes affected

OCA2 (HGNC:8101): (OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein) This gene encodes the human homolog of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. The encoded protein is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine, which is a precursor to melanin synthesis. It is involved in mammalian pigmentation, where it may control skin color variation and act as a determinant of brown or blue eye color. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Johns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins University

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This OCA2 variant (rs780625433) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 6/276568 total alleles; 0.002%; no homozygotes) and has been reported in ClinVar. This frameshift variant (p.Gly44fs) in exon 2 of 24 results in a premature termination signal likely leading to nonsense-mediated decay and lack of protein production. Bioinformatic analysis predicts the co-occurrence of this variant on the same haplotype as c.1103C>T, although this has not been confirmed experimentally to our knowledge. We consider c.131del to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Gly44GlufsX58 variant in OCA2 has not been previously reported in individuals with disease but has been identified in 0.045% (4/8956) of African chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 44 and leads to a premature termination codon 58 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the OCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism for oculocutaneous albinism type 2. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Gly44GlufsX58 variant is likely pathogenic based upon predicted impact to the gene. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly44Glufs*58) in the OCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in OCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19865097, 21541274). This variant is present in population databases (rs780625433, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with OCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521067). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
